Chapter 2 2-port Transmission

Measurement (Option 21)
2-1
Introduction
The 2-port transmission measurement option provides the capability to perform 2-port
measurements. This measurement is used to verify the performance of tower mounted
amplifiers, duplexers, and also to verify antenna isolation between two sectors. The excellent
dynamic range makes it suitable for repeaters as well.
Both high and low power settings are available. The High Power setting delivers
approximately 0 dBm power at the RF out port, ideal for antenna isolation measurements and
duplexers. When making measurements of a Tower Mounted Amplifier, it is recommended to
use the low power setting (approximately 30 dBm). This will ensure that the RF In port is not
over powered and that the measurements are made in the linear region of the amplifier.
The integrated 32V bias tee (Option 10) enables users to turn on up to 32V on the center
conductor of the RF In port.

Bias Tee (Option 10)
Bias Tee (Option 10)
Option 10 provides a bias tee that is installed inside the instrument. The bias arm is
connected to a 12 VDC to 32 VDC power source that can be turned on as needed to place the
voltage on the center conductor of the instruments RF In port. This supply of bias implies it is
mostly useful when conducting two-port transmission measurements. This voltage can be
used to provide power to block down-converters in satellite receivers and can also be used to
power some tower-mounted amplifiers.
The bias can be turned on only when the instrument is in transmission measurement, return
loss, cable loss, VSWR, DTF, Spectrum Analyzer, Channel Scanner, and Interference
Analyzer mode. When bias is turned on, the bias voltage and current are displayed in the
lower left corner of the display. The 12 VDC to 32 VDC power supply is designed to
continuously deliver a maximum of 6 Watts.
The bias tee menu can be accessed from the applications options menu and in transmission
measurement, it can also be accessed from the Measure main menu.

from the radio system and connects to a single antenna. This configuration is specific to
systems that use a single antenna configuration.
TMA-S: A receive-only tower mounted amplifier is installed between the receiving
antenna and the radio to boost weak signals. This configuration is common on systems
that implement separate antennas for transmitting and receiving.
TMA-DD: A dual-duplex tower mounted amplifier used for radio systems with a single
transmission line connection for transmit and receive. These systems are commonly
called transceivers.

Freq (Frequency) Menu
Key Sequence: Freq

The tuning frequency range can be entered in several different ways depending upon what
makes the most sense for the user or for the application. The center frequency and span can
be specified, the start and stop frequencies can be entered, or a signal standard and channel
number can be selected from the built-in list.

Start Freq: Press the Start Freq submenu key and enter the desired
frequency using the keypad, the arrow keys, or the rotary knob.
Stop Freq: Press the Stop Freq submenu key and enter the desired
Center Freq: Press the Center Freq submenu key and enter the desired
Span: Press the Freq main menu key followed by the Span submenu key
and enter the desired span. The Span menu is used to set the frequency
range over which the instrument will sweep. The span can be set from 10 Hz
to the maximum frequency range the instrument will support. See the
product specifications for the maximum frequency. Span can also be set to
zero span.
The submenu key shows the current value for span in units of GHz, MHz,
kHz, or Hz. When the Span button is pressed, span becomes the active
parameter and may be changed. Use the keypad, the directional arrow keys
or the rotary knob to increase or decrease the span frequency. If the span is
changed using the arrow keys, the span changes in a 1-2-5 sequence of the
Frequency Step for each key press. See the Span Menu on page 2-20.
Note: In the above submenus, when entering a frequency using the keypad,
the submenu key labels change to GHz, MHz, kHz, and Hz. Press the
appropriate units key. Pressing the Enter key has the same affect as the
MHz submenu key.
Signal Standard: Use the Up/Down arrow keys or the rotary knob to
highlight a signal standard and press Enter to select. See Span Menu on
page 2-20.
When a signal standard is selected, the center frequency and span for the
first channel of the last segment of the particular standard is automatically
tuned. Other settings, such as channel spacing and integration bandwidth,
are also automatically entered.
Channel #: Use the Up/Down arrow keys, the keypad, or the rotary knob to
select a channel number for the selected signal standard. The center of the
channel is tuned to the center of the spectrum analyzer display.

Span: This submenu key shows the current value for span in units of GHz,
MHz, kHz, or Hz. When the Span button is pressed, span becomes the
active parameter and may be changed. Use the keypad, the directional
arrow keys, or the rotary knob to increase or decrease the span frequency.
Span Up 1-2-5: This is a convenient way to quickly arrive at a wider span
value. The first time the submenu key is pressed, the span value increases
to the nearest even value that starts with 1, 2, or 5. For example if the span is
1.8 MHz, pressing the submenu key for the first time changes the span to
2.0 MHz, the next press takes the value to 5.0 MHz and so on.
Span Down 1-2-5: This is a convenient way to narrow the frequency span.
The first time the submenu key is pressed, the span value decreases to the
nearest even value that starts with 1, 2, or 5. For example if the span is
1.8 MHz, pressing the submenu key for the first time changes the span to
1.0 MHz, the next press takes the value to 500 kHz, then 200 kHz and so on.
Full Span: Pressing this button sets the span to cover the entire tunable
spectrum of the unit.
Zero Span: This submenu key sets zero span. In this mode the display
shows amplitude changes at a single frequency. This function is frequently
used to allow the easy monitoring of power variations over time. For
example, if information about the amplitude of an 802.11a access point
signal is needed, the access point frequency would be set as the center
frequency, resolution bandwidth would be set to a value wide enough to
encompass as much of the signal as possible and the tester would walk
around the access point useable area while the instrument records the
amplitude using slow sweep.
Last Span: This submenu key returns the span to the most recent span
value immediately before a change was made.

Limit lines can be used for visual reference only, or for pass/fail criteria using the limit alarm.
Limit alarm failures are reported whenever a signal crosses the limit line.
Each limit line can consist of a single segment, or as many as 40 segments across the entire
frequency span of the instrument. These limit segments are retained regardless of the current
frequency span of the instrument, allowing the configuring of specific limit envelopes at
various frequencies of interest without having to re-configure them each time the frequency is
changed. To clear the current limit setup configuration and return to a single limit segment
starting at the current start frequency and ending at the current stop frequency, press the
Clear Limit submenu key.

Frequency: The frequency of each point in a limit line can be individually set.
When a new point is added, it takes on a value halfway between two existing
points, or the stop frequency of the current sweep if there is no point higher in
frequency than the one being added. See the Add Point submenu key
description for more details. Use the keypad, the Left/Right arrow keys or the
rotary knob to change the frequency of a point.
Amplitude: The amplitude of each limit point can also be individually set. By
default, when a new point is added, it takes on the amplitude that is on the limit
line at the frequency where the point was added. Use the keypad, the Up/Down
arrow keys, or the rotary knob to move the point to the desired value. The unit of
the amplitude limit is the same as the current vertical amplitude unit. See the
Add Point submenu key description for more details.
Add Point: The precise behavior of this submenu key depends on which limit
point is active at the time the key is pressed. If the active limit point is
somewhere in the middle of a multi-segment limit line, a new limit point will be
added that is halfway between the currently active point and the point
immediately to its right. The amplitude of the point will be such that it falls on the
limit line. For example, if there is a limit point at 2.0 GHz with an amplitude of
30 dBm and the next point is 3.0 GHz with an amplitude of 50 dBm, the added
point will be at 2.5 GHz with an amplitude of 40 dBm. The frequency and
amplitude values of the new point can be adjusted as needed with the
Frequency and Amplitude submenu keys. If the last limit point is active
(assuming it is not at the right edge of the display) the new limit point will be
placed at the right edge of the display at the same amplitude as the point
immediately to its left. Points may not be added beyond the current sweep limits
of the instrument.
Delete Point: This submenu key deletes the currently active point. The active
point becomes the one immediately to the left of the point that was deleted.
Next Point Left: This submenu key selects the limit point immediately to the left
of the active point, making it active for editing or deletion. With each key press,
the indicator of which point is active moves one limit point to the left until it
reaches the left edge of the screen.
Next Point Right: This submenu key selects the limit point immediately to the
right of the active point, making it active for editing or deletion. With each key
press, the indicator of which point is active moves one limit point to the right until
it reaches the right edge of the screen.
Move Limit: This submenu key allows an entire single or multi-segment limit
line to be moved up or down by the number of dB entered using the keypad, the
Up/Down arrow keys, or the rotary knob. The units for this amount will be the
current display units as selected under the Amplitude menu.
